Transfer Flows story began in 1983 in the beautiful and historic town of Chico, California,
when former General Motors engineer Bill Gaines, founded the company as an OEM fuel system
supplier for the motorhome and travel trailer industry. TFI quickly expanded into the
mobility, work body, and mainstream automotive industries, and by 1994 the company
relocated to a 35,000 square foot manufacturing facility as demand continued to grow.
Six years later, a 20,000 square foot building was built on an adjacent 3 acre parcel,
and finally in 2008, a 15,000 square foot warehouse was also added. Today, Transfer Flow
continues to invest in new technology and state-of- the art manufacturing equipment,
while employing a dedicated and hardworking staff of more than 80 people from across
Northern California.
